I've had a 1 hour ban in Vanilla for interrupting an RP marriage in Stormwind Cathedral, I don't see how a 3 hour ban if botting was involved is justified in any way.., maybe there is some truth to all the speculations about them not actually wanting to address the issue on a serious level, because it's so widely spread to actually be felt on the monthly subscription income...

That suspension volcano is so false!

I recently had 3 holiday's from the public forum, the first was 24h, second was 1 month, and the 3rd was permanent, but was appealed and cancelled after 3 months.., the suspension you can get on forums is entirely up to the blue in question and how he deems your "violation" of their code of conduct.

Also that was my first offense ever and was perma banned for, "Association with other exploitative accounts" which to this day still don't understand.

Maybe you replied in trade to someone who swore at an RP celebration of killing a dragon.

OT: Honestly, a 3 hour ban is probably the best approach to it. There is SO many people botting right now and I gaurantee 90% of them are long-time players who are just jumping on the bandwagon and assume they wont get caught. Imagine the outrage if all of these people got the perma-bans they deserve, that'd be a lot of players never playing again. A 3 hour ban is likely enough of a slap-on-the-wrists that a lot of the people wont do it again, and to the people who will carry on, the second time will likely be account closure.

Quite funny i got banned for 72 hours for joking about kitties but got a 3 hour ban for cheating in WSG for months and sending death treaths.

Oh btw 72 hours ban was in TBC, guess theres so many botters playing now banning them permanently would make the game more and more dead.

I know people loves to argue but man, think logic. Why would Blizzard ban us for 3 hours now while they banned us for like one week in TBC for breaking a small rule such as saying the F word?

I mean you cant argue against me without bringing a good point why they banned us so easily in TBC but rarely even gives out a 3 hour ban without a warning for people ruining the game now. There has to be something in this.

OP spells at Ashran? Based on faction population? Yes, WODs gonna be the most awesome expansion ever! Propably gonna hit under 4 million sub mark.

Shadow Walk : Significantly increases Stealth effectiveness for 6 sec, but causes Stealth to be nerfed to justify its usage. In addition, it uses old Enveloping Shadows icon and has no sound, animation or spell effect to show that the skill is actually doing something.
